Not great but a better day than I expected, with light  winds, north
northeast switching to east  northeast.
It was one for the big boys - 54 Osprey, 3 Bald Eagles,  8  Harriers, 5
Coops  and only 8 Sharpies. All the accipiters appeared to  be big females.
Total count was 90. Birds were high and far, and great cloud  cover saved the
day.
Thanks to Marty Moore for helping to find the dots.

Still lots of Tree Swallows and only a smattering of other  birds.
